FJ Bilstein 6112s on 4th Gen? Circlip Setting?

What's up 4th Gen Fam?! I have been searching through forums, FB groups, and good ol' Google and have yet to find an answer to a suspension question. I'm beginning to loose brain cells over this and have become quite frustrated. Here's the issue.

I've got a 2008 SR5 V6 and I am wanting to put a 2.5" - 2.8" lift on the front with a 2" rear lift. I recently purchased a set of Bilstein 6112's with the regular ol' 600lbs coil. (Part #: 46-227827) (E4-WM5-Y428A00). The 6112's that I purchased are for the 2007-2009 FJ Cruiser and only have 5 perch settings. The information that came in the box suggested I put the circlip on the highest (5th clip) setting to achieve a 2.5" lift, however, as mentioned this is for the FJ. Currently my rig is stock, and have no immediate plans to add significant weight to the front or rear.

Curious if anybody else is running these older Bilstein 6112's for the FJ on their 4Runner and what circlip setting you have them set to. Could someone also reassure me that these 6112's will indeed fit?

Any help is warmly welcomed! Photos are appreciated!

"Fit" shouldn't be a problem. I would install them on the 5th perch and see where you end up and go from there. Removing/installing front shocks/coils is fairly easy easy.
